I did not find anyone with exactly the same symptoms. So I started a new thread.
My wife's stock unrooted S4 GT-i9505 with 5.0.1 android does not start anymore. No custom roms or odin tricks were ever done to the phone. Phone does not get past the first Samsung GT-I9505 text. It does not load the graphical Samsung boot animation. Recovery is not accessible. Only once I have gotten to see a glimpse of recovery screen, but then display got striped and phone froze.
I can get to bootloader and I tried to use Odin to load stock 5.0.1 rom. I loaded rom with default values, odin passes and then phone reboots. Again phone gets stuck on the Samsung GT-I9505 text display.
24month warranty has already expired, so when i remembered, that phone has had issues with power button previously, I ordered new and changed it. No changes to situation.
Another strange thing is, that if I do not start the phone, but just plug usb in, the charging symbol is static grey. I read in one thread, that maybe USB port was faulty interfering the charging and resulting to always empty looking static grey battery. However, the port actually charges the battery. I put the battery to external charger and charger reported that battery was full. I ordered new port. It has not yet arrived. Relatives have S4's so having a spare won't do any harm if the port swap does not help here.
My wife said that phone was very laggy just before it died. When I think the artifacts I see on screen sometimes and then
the fact that bootloader display displays without artifacts just fine, my thoughts start to concentrate to display chip. None of the screens that now work and show have any 3D or animations on them. Charging screen has animation, but phone becomes unresponsive as soon as that screen shows. Recovery screen has animated android figure when it loads and I have once seen a glimpse of that figure before display corrupted. Display also has once corrupted (noise/lines) with the battery recharging screen. The screen that comes after Samsung... text has animation and phone freezes just before that.
Any thoughts? Has anyone had exactly the same symptoms?
